  2. using the past to find the future Five challenges for libraries to address: “critical mass aggregation local collection development integration archives” Five areas to take action in (UKOLN): “distributed discovery location and request development of metadata coordination of national resource discovery integrated access to resources across domains organisation of distributed library resources” 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  3. print is not forgotten  by building on the strengths of existing systems  by providing integrated access to print and electronic sources of information through existing systems  by providing easy to use access pathways for the end-user 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  4. Australian library engagement in the national learning environment: the Australian Academic Research Library Network (AARLIN), the Collaborative Online Learning and Information Services (COLIS) Consortium, a new resource discovery service, and in associated projects: the Western Australian Libraries Authentication Project (WALAP), the Schools Online Content Curriculum Initiative (SOCCI) 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  5. talking the same talk 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  6. walking the same walk • Early findings from the pilot phase: • Z39.50, distributed searching • 130 commercial databases chosen, 40 implemented • UNIX skills required by university staff, collaboration facilitated this Reactions from academics: • not interested in Web sites selected by libraries or described in catalogues • keen on multi-database searches, e-journals • assumed could access resources not held/subscribed to by the university 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  7. 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  8. beware the ‘portal’ label "I think we're more interested in not going it alone." “The results were not blazingly fast, a fact that annoyed some students” “.. plans to become more involved in academic collaborations such as the university-sponsored Open Knowledge Initiative..” 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  10. dancing to the same tune • “identify and map interoperability issues for learning space applications • identify appropriate standards for interoperability • provide input to IMS and other standards bodies to fill interoperability gaps • provide input into the OKI framework” 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  14. shining a light the pilot resource discovery service is: • making free, significant resources more visible in the public domain • enhancing awareness and use of the intellectual output of a nation by disclosing it to a broad community, to facilitate learning, teaching and research • engendering an interest in underutilised resources • flagging resources ‘at risk’ • identifying and supporting service providers of the future 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  18. is it all about libraries ? • “libraries often do not present a clear vision to those responsible for library funding • the public does not see the library as part of the service they receive, but those responsible for funding need to be aware of the library’s role • libraries need to find a way to be more closely aligned with political and economic agendas • it is difficult for government agencies to get approval for plans which do not show a tangible economic benefit • it is essential that the library sector present a single voice to get funding for significant infrastructure development • there is value in trying to move the focus from strictly economic issues, although social and cultural value is not necessarily measurable in dollar terms” 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002

  19. are we there yet ? “incremental change is no longer enough.. transformational change is needed to secure sustainability..” 4th International JISC-CNI Conference …26-27 June 2002
